POSTER: computer news || MANUFACTURERS OF VIDEO CARDS EXPECT GOOD RESULTS OF THE THIRD QUARTER

DATE:2017-08-14

Gigabyte Technology for the first six months 2017 reduced the motherboard deliveries volume from 8.5 million to 6.6 million units. However, the July volumes of video cards installed a monthly record - 550 thousand items. For the first half of last year, Gigabyte released 1.6 million video cards, for the same period this year - already 1.9 million video cards. As a result, the company managed to achieve revenue growth of 11.44% in the annual comparison.

MSI's revenue also grew by 12.4%, but in addition to video cards, the gaming laptops of the brand should also be thanked for this.

In the third quarter, video card manufacturers expect a moderate recovery in demand for PCs, but they are hoping for a consistent increase in revenue due to continued interest in crypto-currencies, the emergence of new Intel and AMD platforms for PCs and servers, and the emergence of new graphics solutions AMD. About NVIDIA's innovations in this forecast there is not a word, which once again proves their lack of plans for NVIDIA itself for the third quarter of this year.

POSTER: computer news || THE SHARES OF NVIDIA CONTINUE TO FALL IN PRICE

DATE:2017-08-14

Last week, NVIDIA announced the maximum revenue in the second quarter of the company's history, but whether it helped keep the stock price at a consistently high level . First of all, the market reacted to the quarterly report of NVIDIA by a decrease in the share price, and the volume of trading increased. This suggests that investors began to sell NVIDIA shares .

What was the reason for the disappointment of the players in the stock market in these securities? Susquehanna Financial Group's experts explain that NVIDIA's quarterly report was good, but it had to be "perfect" to keep stocks from falling. Investors were deceived in expectations and disappointed.

Experts Wells Fargo convinced that the shares of NVIDIA in some perspective will fall in price by half, to $ 75 per piece. They expect AMD's revenge in the segment of gaming graphics cards. Analysts at Rosenblatt Securities, on the contrary, believe in the ability of NVIDIA shares to rise to $ 180, but mainly against the backdrop of the company's success in the segment of data centers and autopilot. Experts Loop Capital Markets expect that next year the crypto segment will cease
to feed NVIDIA with growing revenue, and it will decrease by 20% in this direction. But in the segment of the data center, NVIDIA revenue will grow by 14% in 2019 fiscal year (almost coincident with 2018 calendar year), and in the segment of gaming solutions the company's revenue will grow by 25%.

POSTER: computer news || FOR A YEAR, GPUS INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE BY AN AVERAGE OF THREE TIMES

DATE:2017-08-14

Many game lovers quite naturally puzzled the NVIDIA CEO's statement about a hundredfold difference in the speed level between Kepler and Volta - especially since we do not see any game versions of the last processor on the horizon. It should be once again explained that the founder of the company simply operated on performance indicators in the field of computing, but not games. I must say that he subsequently returned to this topic during the speech at the quarterly reporting conference.

According to NVIDIA CEO , the complexity of neural networks almost doubles every year. Graphical processors of the corresponding brand increase their productivity almost three times every year. In fact, at a four-year interval between Kepler and Volta, the company managed to achieve a hundredfold difference precisely at the expense of such rates of productivity increase in the calculations. To be more precise, it was necessary to increase it annually by 3.16 times on average. As the head of NVIDIA assures, that's exactly what happened.

The accuracy of calculations in artificial intelligence systems is doubled every year. This applies to both pattern recognition and speech recognition. Algorithms are being improved, and this sphere is developing very rapidly. It is interesting that the head of the company considers the system of transport autopilot one of the most important spheres of application of artificial intelligence. It is leadership in this area, according to the founder of NVIDIA, that will help the company "realize the opportunity that is given once in a lifetime." NVIDIA has the opportunity to significantly influence the future of this planet.
